Whereas in poultry coccidiosis soil contamination appears to be an important factor, it does not seem to be involved in the spread of coccidiosis among the wild quail. Analysis of over 500 soil samples from quail concentration spots from three areas in the State, where eoccidia were found to be very prevalent in the quail, revealed prac- tically none of the resistant stages found in soil examinations of poultry runs.
